To try keeping our children safe as they head off to school, Cape Coral will approve new signs with flashing, attention-grabbing lights to go in school zones.
The Cape Coral Police Department says it has issued an average of 50 tickets in school zones per year since 2017, and a lot of warnings, too. Will more of these signs make school zones safer?
The City of Cape Coral shows 20 of their schools are not up to standards when it comes to signage in school zones. This includes a speed limit sign with flashing lights as well as a school crossing sign. CCPD says, in many cases, drivers are not paying attention or they are in a rush; both are unacceptable.
